Norbornadiene is a bicyclic hydrocarbon that is being discussed as a potential candidate for storing solar energy . It is also of interest as a metal ligand that is used in homogeneous catalysis . Norbornadiene is also a useful dienophile in the Diels-Alder reaction . Related bicyclic compounds are norbornene , which has the same carbon structure but only one double bond, and norbornane , also with the same structure, but without double bonds and thus saturated.

synthesis

Norbornadiene can be produced by the reaction of cyclopentadiene and acetylene .

Norbornadiene synthesis

properties

Norbornadiene forms highly flammable vapor-air mixtures. The compound has a flash point of around −11 ° C. The explosion range is between 1% by volume (38 g / m 3 ) as the lower explosion limit (LEL) and 6.3% by volume as the upper explosion limit (UEL). The ignition temperature is 350 ° C. The substance therefore falls into temperature class T2.

Storage of solar energy

Quadricyclane , a valence isomer , can be obtained by photochemical isomerization in the presence of a sensitizer such as e.g. B. Michler's ketone or acetophenone can be obtained.

Reaction of norbornadiene to quadricyclane:
forward reaction by supplying energy from light h · ν and reverse reaction by increasing the temperature Δ

This pair of isomers is of potential interest for the storage of solar energy if the reverse reaction is possible through a controlled process. Theoretically storable energy is −89 kJ / mol. Since the main absorption of this reaction is around 300 nm, but only small portions of the sunlight are below 400 nm, this use is limited.

Reactions

Norbornadiene is a reactive reagent in cycloadditions and also a starting material for the production of diamond and sumanes . It is also used as an acetylene transfer agent in reactions with tetrazines such as 3,6-di-2-pyridyl-1,2,4,5-tetrazine .

Use as a ligand

Norbornadiene is a versatile ligand in organometallic chemistry where it acts as a two- or four- electron donor .

An example of this is tetracarbonyl (norbornadiene) chromium (0).
